74: A group of women are soaking in a hot spring. Ip Man asks: "May I watch?"
The Hot Spring behind Goddess Peak was shrouded in a thin layer of mist. The water was crystal clear, surrounded by lush trees, making it look like a fairyland on earth. In the Hot Spring, Yao Xi and Phoenix were leaning against the edge, enjoying the warm water. Six maids dressed in black silk maid outfits stood respectfully by the side, holding towels and incense, carefully attending to the two mistresses.
Yao Xi's posture was elegant, her long black hair draped wet over her shoulders. Water droplets slid down her skin, making her look exceptionally moving. Her face was calm and dignified, and her brows revealed a sense of composure and calmness. As a Saintess of the Yaoguang Holy Land, her aura carried a natural majesty, yet it did not make people feel distant. Her palm gently stroked her protruding abdomen, her eyes filled with maternal tenderness.
Phoenix appeared more flamboyant. Her long black hair spread out in the water like ink, and her skin was as fair as jade. Her brows and eyes carried a hint of tsundere arrogance and confidence. Her personality was bold in love and hate; although she occasionally showed a tsundere side when facing Ye Wen, her heart was devoted to him. At this moment, she was resting with her eyes closed, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, seemingly indifferent to everything around her.
Just then, Ye Wen brought Ji Biyue into the Hot Spring area. Ji Biyue was wearing a thin tulle dress, a hint of shyness on her face; she was clearly a bit overwhelmed by the scene before her. Ye Wen, however, looked calm, holding her hand and walking slowly toward the edge of the Hot Spring pool.
Hearing footsteps, Phoenix slowly opened her eyes. Her gaze fell on Ye Wen, a flash of joy in her eyes, but she immediately pretended to be indifferent and pouted, her tone carrying a hint of tsundere: "Yo, isn't this our Saint? What, bringing a new sister here to show off?"
Her tone was teasing, but her eyes were full of tenderness. Although she was sharp-tongued, her love for Ye Wen in her heart had not diminished in the slightest. She gently stroked her stomach and said with feigned dissatisfaction: "Don't forget, we are carrying your child, you mustn't play favorites!"
Hearing this, Ye Wen smiled helplessly. He walked to the edge of the pool, crouched down, reached out to gently stroke Phoenix's cheek, and said softly: "Phoenix, why are you still so jealous? Sister Biyue just arrived, I'm showing her around the environment, don't scare her."
Phoenix blushed at his gentle actions and words, but still pretended to be tsundere, hummed, and turned her head away: "Who is jealous? I couldn't be bothered to care about you!"
Yao Xi watched this scene quietly from the side, a faint smile in her eyes. Her gaze shifted between Ye Wen and Ji Biyue, then fell on Ye Wen, her tone calm and gentle: "Ye Wen, since Sister Biyue is here, she is one of us now. You must take good care of her."
Her voice was as pleasant as a clear spring, carrying a natural soothing power. Her gaze was gentle yet firm, as if silently telling Ye Wen that she would support him as always and would also accept Ji Biyue as part of this family.
Ye Wen nodded, reached out to gently hold Yao Xi's hand, and said softly: "Xi'er, don't worry, I will take good care of Sister Biyue, and I will take good care of each and every one of you."
Yao Xi smiled slightly, turned her gaze to Ji Biyue, and said gently: "Sister Biyue, welcome to our family. From now on, we are a family. If you need anything, just say it, don't be polite."
Feeling her kindness, Ji Biyue felt a warmth in her heart and said softly: "Thank you, Sister Yao Xi, I will definitely cherish this home, and I will also take good care of Brother Wen and everyone."
Seeing this, Phoenix couldn't help but interrupt: "Alright, alright, stop being so mushy! Sister Biyue, since you're here, come down and soak in the Hot Spring together! This water is the spiritual spring of Goddess Peak; it's very good for your body!"
As she spoke, she deliberately winked at Ji Biyue, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness. Although her tsundere nature remained, the tenderness in her eyes had already betrayed her heart.
Ye Wen smiled and shook his head, reached out to gently pat Ji Biyue's hand, and said softly: "Biyue, go ahead and relax with them. I'll wait for you here."
Ji Biyue nodded, a blush appearing on her face, and slowly walked into the Hot Spring. The warm water enveloped her body, making her feel a sense of comfort and relaxation. Yao Xi and Phoenix approached her from left and right, the three of them smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Ye Wen stood by the pool, watching this scene, his eyes full of smiles.
In the Hot Spring, mist swirled, and the water rippled gently, reflecting the smiling faces of several women. Ji Biyue, Yao Xi, and Phoenix were leaning against the edge of the pool, enjoying the warm water, chatting softly with each other in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Just then, Yan Ruyu, Ji Ziyue, and Qin Yao also walked slowly into the Hot Spring area.
Yan Ruyu's posture was elegant. She held a basket of fresh flower petals in her hand and gently sprinkled them into the Hot Spring. The petals rippled with the water, emitting a faint fragrance. A gentle smile was on her face as her gaze fell on the people in the pool, and she said softly: "It seems we came at the right time. It's really lively here."
Ji Ziyue, sporting a seven-month pregnant belly, walked to the pool with a light step and said with a grin: "Oh my, Sister Biyue, you've integrated into the group so quickly? It seems Brother Wen's charm is indeed not small!" Her tone was teasing, but her eyes were full of smiles.
Qin Yao remained charming and moving. She wore a thin tulle dress, her steps full of allure. Her gaze swept around the pool and finally landed on Ye Wen standing by the pool, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, revealing a sly smile. She walked slowly to Ye Wen's side, reached out to gently rest on his shoulder, her tone carrying a bit of coquettishness and teasing: "Little Master, why are you still here? This is our private territory for girls; boys cannot just walk in!"
Her voice was soft and charming, carrying a hint of refusal, and her eyes flashed with mischievous light. She deliberately leaned close to Ye Wen and whispered: "Little Master, you cannot play favorites and only focus on accompanying Sister Biyue, forgetting about us!"
Ye Wen was amused by her words and felt a bit helpless. He coughed lightly and said with feigned seriousness: "Qin Yao, you girl, why are you always so disrespectful?"
Hearing this, Qin Yao giggled, reached out to gently poke his chest, and said with a bit of coquettishness: "Little Master, I'm doing this for your own good! Girls are soaking in the Hot Spring; for you, a grown man, to be here, how inappropriate! Besides, we have many whispers to share, you cannot eavesdrop!"
Her tone carried obvious teasing, but her eyes were full of tenderness. She gently pushed Ye Wen and said with feigned dissatisfaction: "Alright, alright, hurry up and go out. We'll find you when we're done soaking!"
Ye Wen was left speechless by her pushing, could only shake his head helplessly, and turned to walk outside the Hot Spring. Before leaving, he did not forget to look back at the people in the pool.
Watching his back, Qin Yao couldn't help but giggle, then turned to walk to the edge of the pool, gently took off her tulle dress, and stepped into the Hot Spring. Her movements were elegant and alluring, like a nimble fairy, instantly attracting everyone's gaze.
She leaned against the pool, her gaze falling on Ji Biyue, her tone carrying a bit of teasing: "Sister Biyue, the Little Master dotes on you very much, you must repay the Little Master well!"
Ji Biyue was teased by her words, a blush appearing on her face, and she said softly: "Sister Qin Yao, I will."
Yan Ruyu smiled gently from the side and said softly: "Sister Biyue, welcome to our family. From now on, we are a family. If you need anything, just say it, don't be polite."
Ji Ziyue chimed in with a grin: "Yes, yes, Sister Biyue, don't let that Big Scoundrel spoil you! We have to 'discipline' him together!"
The people in the pool couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, the atmosphere warm and joyful. In the Hot Spring, flower petals rippled gently with the water, and fragrance filled the air, as if adding a romantic touch to this warm moment.
Ye Wen stood outside the Hot Spring, listening to the laughter coming from inside, his heart filled with satisfaction.
They are all Saintesses of various Holy Lands, yet now they are his women, and even more so, they are carrying his children. This is how a man should be.
In the Hot Spring, Yao Xi gently stroked her abdomen, her eyes full of anticipation. She whispered to Phoenix: "Phoenix, who do you think our child will look like?"
Hearing this, a hint of tenderness flashed in Phoenix's eyes, and she said softly: "Whether it looks like you or Ye Wen, it will be an amazing little one."
Yao Xi smiled slightly, her gaze falling on Ji Biyue, and she said softly: "Sister Biyue, when you have a child, we must teach them together and let them become each other's support."
Ji Biyue nodded, a blush appearing on her face, and said softly: "Sister Yao Xi, I will."
